Hi all, I replaced the calipers and pads and flex hoses in the rear. (1973 1,7)
Old brake fluid from reservoir removed with siringe and filled with new fluid. I did set the clearance on the inner and outer on both sides. Then I did bleed the brakes and checked the clearance again (was still OK) Now the proportioning valve part....do I need someone to push the pedal to the floor, keep pedal at floor and then I bleed again while pedal is down? Or does it work another way ? Or is it not needed after what I already did ? Thanks for your reply ! |

thanks all for the replies. System did not run dry, so I guess I will forget the proportioning valve for now.
I do not have a pressure bleeder and did not use a compressorr, I used a handpump style vacuumpump to suck through the fluid on the caliperside, keeping an eye on reservoir level (top taken off), I filled it up when needed (two times) I bought this pump for this purpose but I did not really like it to be honest. I do not have a overflow tube on my reservoir, I have a 73, they do not have them . I did d the sequesnce as stated by you guys, RR first, LR after that. Front brakes are not yet done, I started with new rear brakes and work my way through the car. So.....I guess some more bleeding to do ! :-) |
